Because the Confidence Level helps him to learn a lot. Thats think should full focus for hire. Thats why i am really agree with your post.

They help to get the job done while culture just provides (important) environment for competences to flourish (or die). And assessing culture-fit shouldn’t look like: “Ride free and we will react if we like it”. That doesn’t provide much useful info.

You are a man of many talents. I am not sure how you got through the culture fit but we’re all glad you did. This article just shows your depth as a person beyond your profession which is awesome. I particularly love it when someone who was born after the death of Elvis can understand the human importance of happiness and connectedness. You’re a special kid… thanks for contributing to our purpose and culture. Your impact on changing peoples lives everyday is immeasurable.

P.S. Its not to late to change your mind!
